Abstract: The disclosure relates to an audible indicator in combination with a drug delivery device having a resilient force member capable of resting in either of two states. In a biased state, the resilient force member is biased and stores energy and in a relaxed state, the resilient force member is relaxed. The resilient force member releases the stored energy when changing from the biased state into the relaxed state, thereby generating an audible signal, wherein the resilient force member is supported by a retaining element in the biased state in order to prevent transition into the relaxed state.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an audible indicator for use with a drug delivery device comprising a bistable resilient force member capable of residing in two states. In a biased state, the resilient force member is biased and stores energy In a relaxed state, the resilient force member is relaxed. The resilient force member releases the stored energy when transitioning from the biased state into the relaxed state, thereby generating an audible signal.

Abstract: The present application relates to shock absorbers for injection devices. According to a first aspect, this specification discloses an injection device comprising: a medicament container; a stopper translatably disposed within the medicament container; and a plunger rod comprising: a plunger rod body; and a shock absorber, wherein the plunger rod is operable to displace the stopper; and wherein the shock absorber contacts the stopper during displacement of the stopper by the plunger rod, thereby reducing an impact force between the plunger rod and the stopper.

Abstract: A syringe carrier includes a housing adapted to receive a syringe having a needle encapsulated by a removable protective needle sheath, and two or more flexible arms protruding inwards in a relaxed state and adapted to couple with the syringe in a mounted position. The flexible arms are adapted to deflect radially outwards in a pre-assembled position of the syringe in the syringe carrier. In the mounted position the flexible arms are allowed to return into the relaxed state due, in part, to an axial force operating on the syringe carrier. The disclosure further relates to an autoinjector and a method of assembling the autoinjector.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drive subassembly for a drug delivery device, the drive subassembly comprising a housing and a plunger, wherein the plunger is adapted to be rotated between a locked position, in which the plunger is prevented from advancing, and a released position, in which the plunger is advancable, wherein at least one restraining component is provided to restrain rotation of the plunger from the locked position towards the released position.

Abstract: The present specification relates to a plunger configured to transmit a force from an energy source to a piston of a primary container, the plunger comprising a plunger rod configured to be subjected to the force from the energy source, the plunger rod having an inner surface forming a cavity, wherein a support element adapted to constrain the energy source within the cavity protrudes radially inwards from the inner surface into the cavity.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a drug delivery device including: a housing configured to contain a drug container with a needle, a needle shroud that is telescopically connected to the housing, and a cap that is configured to be releasably connected to the housing before use of the device. At least one of the cap and the needle shroud is adapted to unreleasably lock the cap onto the housing after reapplying the cap onto the housing after the drug delivery device is used.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device, comprising a housing adapted to receive a medicament container, a plunger and a plunger release mechanism, the plunger release mechanism comprising a first plunger boss arranged on the plunger, a profiled slot arranged on the housing and adapted to be engaged by the first plunger boss so as to inhibit movement of the plunger in a distal direction, wherein the plunger is rotatable about a longitudinal axis to release the first plunger boss from the profiled slot so as to allow movement of the plunger in the distal direction, a sleeve coupled to the housing to permit movement of the sleeve relative to the housing, wherein a sleeve ramp is arranged on the sleeve, the sleeve ramp adapted to engage a rib or boss on the plunger to rotate the plunger to release the first plunger boss from the profiled slot when the sleeve is moved in a proximal direction.

Abstract: The present specification relates to a drug delivery device comprising: a housing adapted to receive a primary container with a piston, a plunger slidably disposed in the housing and adapted to drive the piston for delivering a medicament, a drive spring pre-loaded between the housing and the plunger so as to urge the plunger in a distal direction, an audible and/or tactile indicator, a trigger mechanism arranged between the indicator and the plunger, wherein the trigger mechanism is configured to support the indicator in an initial state of the device and during delivery of the medicament and to couple with the plunger to activate the audible and/or tactile indicator at or near an end of delivery.
